How about don't work like that and do a job that makes you happy....I love chicken wings so I decided to be a day trader for all the tendies

Unfortunately most landlords will 'take you to the cleaners' over this kind of stuff. Try fix it yourself in an only additive way so if it does f'up it can be restored back to the start. This way the landlord can use your money to pay his brother 2000$ an hour to fill it with the same stuff and look worse but it will be 'ok' because it was done by a 'professional'
